| The Baby |
Mama dada! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 12!
Our Top Pick tonight is the finale of the comedy horror miniseries The Baby (HBO, 10:30 p.m.). The oddity is pretty bonkers where this cute lil baby might be a devil of a kid. There are plenty of shocks and light horror mixed with a lot of dark humor when da baby lands in Natasha's (Michelle de Swarte) arms... literally. And then the bodies start piling up and a wacky backstory going back decades gets unraveled. I'm a few episodes behind, but I really, really enjoy it.
Elsewhere, it's Broadway's biggest night, Nixon resigns on Starz and CNN, Alicia von Rittberg is young Elizabeth I, Leaphorn & Chee are on the case, Duncan has a neck brace, Time picks its 100, Riverdale hosts KillCon, and Barry does... something.
